The Valentine’s Day Race 2019 at Parc des Buttes-Chaumont in Paris

The Course de la Saint Valentin is back on Saturday February 16, 2019 for a fun and sporting 20^th edition in the bucolic setting of Parc des Buttes Chaumont.

Open to all, this event expects couples and single people looking for Love with a big L in the majestic setting of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont for a crazy race organized every year for 20 years by the FrontRunners de Paris, a lesbian, gay, bi trans-friendly running club in the Parisian region.

The primary objective of this race is to create a sporting and festive event with tow themes: running and Valentine’s Day. The race also raises awareness about discriminations particularly those related to sexual orientation.

Feel like being part of the event but you're going solo? No probs! The Course de la Saint Valentin offers 10km route for sport lovers!
